And yet again I have to point out in a thread that this is *WHY* we have an independant judiciary because there are too many people who cannot disassociate their emotions from the facts.
The families will no doubt say that he should be strung up/ left to rot/ whatever, but they cannot (nor should we expect them to) look at this from an impartial point of view.
Regrettably, however there are also those who aren't family members who think the same way.
If we want to think that we *are* "better" than Peter Sutcliffe, we need to *prove* that by, for instance, showing compassion where he didn't.
PS I'm an atheist...!!
